Razor are another in the new breed of Canadian metal acts that are currently keeping the Maple Leaf mayhem flag flying high. This four-piece from Guelph, Ontario play hard and furious power metal, which in the main has all the power and controlled speed technique of fellow countrymen Exciter; in my opinion one of the current leaders in this field now that previous trend setters Metallica have, shall we say, matured. The best and certainly the fastest of the seven cuts on this mini-LP is 'Take This Torch'. A ten star classic power metal frenzy, even if the chorus chant of "Take This Torch" sounds a lot like Metallica's 'Hit The Lights'. Listen also for some excellent soloing from Dave Carlo.
